The only computer in the 2.3 turbo cars that are better than you're are the PE computers. These had problems of there own. If you TC is a manual it has the LA3 ECM, if it is auto is has the LA2 ecm. These are both very good ECM's and you should not have to replace them.

You should already have the 36lb hr brown top injectors and bigger 3" VAM meter.

What do you have done to you're car right now?

What would you like to do with the car? How much more HP are you looking for?
